Why I'm A "Paranoid Right-Winger"- Bumped.

I'm bumping this post to the top because of a comment I find incredulous.
Read the comments and see if the top of your head blows off as mine did.
(Are our founding documents only important to military Veterans these days?)

Uh, we've known about the layering of the document for a long time. It's nothing new. OF COURSE the "birth certificate" is a fake. Of course. We didn't use terms like "African-American" in 1963. Plus, there are other obvious discreps.

But here's the thing: NOBODY CARES. Yeah, yeah, a few "paranoid right-wing" guys care, but nobody else does. It's bizarre. Obama produced a document stating he was born in this country. And even though the document is easily shown to be a fake, "America" bought it and moved on.

And there's the key. The general public really doesn't care whether he was born in Hawaii or Africa. That might be hard to accept for some people (the aforementioned paranoid right-wingers). But really. We don't care. Why not? Meh- number of reasons, probably. Maybe where a person is born really doesn't matter anymore. Maybe Ah-nold could be President! (And maybe should be.)

For me personally, I say that if the people who are responsible for vetting candidates (in both parties) did not catch this, then tough-titties. The Repubs had PLENTY of time to check Obama out and they evidently did a piss-poor job of it. So instead of getting all lathered-up about it this far after the fact, I say let's make sure it doesn't happen again. And then I let it go and move on. And I'm a fairly strict Constitutional Conservative! But I was not about to say yeah, let's put America through the turmoil of negating a presidential election and having a big "do-over" once Obama was elected. It can be argued both ways as to whether we'd be better or worse off right now.

However, the fake birth certificate should be enough to prevent Obama from running in 2012...should disqualify him. If the Repubs let him get away with this AGAIN...well...shame on them. And shame on us.

We deserve the government we get, not the other way around. If we keep voting-in idiots, then what do we expect?

Bobby has a point, I guess, but as I see it, wrong in the past isn't right now. The Pres needs to at least breathe American air from birth, no matter how rarified or affirmatively-actioned. He comes from the "proper" schools with the "proper" papers.

Like I've been saying - and getting looked at like I'm a kook - Obama has the black vote. No question about it. His policies don't take anything away from the section 8 voters. Now he has the gay vote which equals TWO votes for the couple. Include the Hollywood "anything goes" rich folks and we already have the results of election day.

It's fake, but it takes an Attorney General to pursue the gathering of evidence for a possible criminal investigation. I don't think Holder will perform this task, and seriously doubt anyone will in the future.

I can hope for an honest, ethical government in the future, but I'm afraid we'll have to go through a period of social unrest to reach that point.
